Kansas City’s $800 Million GO Bond: Infrastructure Projects Driving Growth

Following voter approval of the $800 million GO bond in 2017, Kansas City officials began strategically designating priority projects for implementation. Year-one funding focused on projects already in the city’s capital pipeline, with the City Council authorizing $44.6 million in projects—slightly exceeding the planned $40 million bond issuance.

While some projects may not be glamorous, they are all vital for strengthening the city’s infrastructure and improving the quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors.

To ensure accountability, the City issues an annual report card detailing progress on completed projects and planned initiatives. Residents can now track ongoing developments via the GO KC Project Explorer, an interactive online tool that allows users to review project specifics in any neighborhood across Kansas City.
